Chapter 193 We Can’t Become Big Trees

Du Chengfeng looked up at the huge giant.

The person he once was, maybe not even the past, after all, not even a day had passed since he entered the imperial mausoleum.And for him at that time, whether it was to test his martial arts, to prove his strength, or for that bullshit invulnerability... Anyway, at that time, he probably still wanted to fight.

But the person he is now is no longer the person he was before.

For Du Chengfeng, this short day was like a lifetime ago.

Perhaps because of his different state, his mentality has also undergone some changes.

"I actually don't want to fight you right now."

Looking at the huge giant who was as calm as a mountain in front of him, Du Chengfeng suddenly sighed.

"How about another day, okay?"

"Probably not."

The huge giant shook his head.

Then he looked down at his huge body and smiled helplessly.

"If I don't kill you today, I'm afraid they won't agree."

"Is that so..."

Du Chengfeng was startled.

Then, he shook his head and laughed.

"Forget it."

With a sigh, Du Chengfeng lowered his head and glanced at the Shadow Sword in his right hand.

The phantom of the Emperor's Sword was trembling rapidly, its killing intent firm and clear.

"I really don't want to fight, but this sword doesn't want me to retreat."

When their eyes met again, Du Chengfeng and the huge giant saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.

If they were acquainted normally, they might sit down and have a drink together, or eat some snacks, and chat about interesting things they know about each other - but they both know very well that this kind of thing only happens to ordinary people. On the body.

When they chose to accept that power, they were no longer able to help themselves.

"never mind."

After shaking his head, Du Chengfeng hung the thick knife back on his back.

"It's a bit too much to fight you with this knife."

"Pity me? Do you think I have no friends?"

The huge giant frowned.

"Do you know that you can't beat me on your own?"

As he said this, the bone-white spurge was already swung.

This may be the complete form of this gigantic giant. After countless years, that terrifying halberd built by the people of Chu in pursuit of dominance, finally found a holder that perfectly fits it - there is no conspiracy. , there is no intrigue, no need to consider the overall situation, and no need to compromise, just simply wave the big halberd and use your strength.

All you need to do is to exert everything you have experienced and endured in this long time. He and it are the power itself.

"But, but."

Facing the overwhelming pure murderous intent, Du Chengfeng faced it with his sword.

"Are you looking down on me a little too much?"

Indeed, Du Chengfeng has rarely used swordsmanship, but this does not mean that he does not know how to swordsmanship. The memory of Cui Yuan's sword, the hard work and persistence of the Three Thousand Sunrise Swords, have already made him familiar with sword weapons. As the arm directs.

What's more, with the sword in his hand now, the hard work he has done is even better than Cui Yuan's.

After all, no matter how hard Cui Yuan works, he still needs to live, spend time to earn money, and maintain his own survival - but this sword of phantom is supported by the huge resources of the entire Nanchen Empire.

If all the material resources of Nanchen were used for just one person to practice swordsmanship, how far would this person's swordsmanship go?
"Om-"

The majestic sword energy swayed out!

For that white bone halberd, this phantom sword is only about the size of a toy, but the raging sword energy erupting at this moment is already comparable to that huge halberd!
The sword energy and the halberd blade collided together, it was a language that only warriors could understand.

No moves or skills were needed. At this moment, the two warring parties were left with only the most brutal and ferocious collision.

"Come again!"

The huge giant waved his halberd, and boundless evil energy surged behind him.

It was all the people he had killed before, it was the boundless resentment brought by all the evil spirits, and the turbulent wave-like momentum swept over him like a dark cloud.

It's also like branches and leaves that cover the sky and the sun.

The tall, leafy trees fell down, like the entire sky collapsing.

But another tree just held up the sky.

Although the amount of evil energy was obviously much less, the evil energy of the small tree seemed more solid. At this moment, the straight branches rising into the sky actually withstood the fallen towering tree.

But this is just the beginning.

"Come again!"

Accompanied by the roar of the huge giant, countless branches spread out from the big tree. It was a violent giant wielding a big halberd. Countless halberd shadows were slashing and stabbing. Each blow was enough to tear apart the tree. A mountain peak.

But on the small tree in front of them, more branches sprouted, and the sword energy with condensed killing intent glowed white, entangled with the phantoms of the big halberds.

"Clank, clank, clank—"

A series of clashing sounds of weapons resounded throughout the world. It was no longer a move that the human body could bear. There was no longer any force-generating structure, nor any movement skills. It was all just for swinging the blade, and swinging the blade was everything!
Faster!Faster!Even faster!

Stronger!Stronger!Even stronger!

The first thing that couldn't bear it was the debris of the surrounding buildings. Just the aftermath of the battle had already crushed the remains of the imperial mausoleum into powder. After that, even the ground under their feet couldn't bear the huge force. And even until the end, even the weapons in their hands could not withstand this inhuman onslaught.

The bone halberd was already full of cracks, and even the spear blade at the tip of the halberd was only half-length, and the illusory sword was already dimmed, as if it was about to disappear into thin air.

But it doesn't matter.

Without weapons, can they not fight?
How can it be!

"Come again!"

Crushing the bone spurge in his hand, the huge giant actually punched hard!

"I'll kill you with one punch!"

"come!"

Du Chengfeng also swung away the Shadow Sword in his hand and came forward with a fist.

This is the wildest and most primitive battle, fist to fist, just the first punch, the hand bones of both sides have been shattered by the huge force - but at this moment, none of them care about this, as long as The fists are still clenched, and as long as they haven't fallen down, all that's left is to punch!Punch again!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Facing the huge fist that was as big as his whole body, Du Chengfeng violently punched and roared like a wild beast.

He was clearly facing a huge giant, but at this moment, he always felt that he was hitting a towering tree. The huge tree stretched out its branches, and each branch was like a huge fist. There are branches and leaves on the huge fist, which is one face after another, one after another of killing and resentment.

But under this towering tree, he didn't see the roots that should have made the tree stable.

"...Is this what you want?"

Du Chengfeng vaguely noticed something.

"Is this why you fight?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The huge giant was also waving his fist wildly, and he had already felt the feeling of hitting the trees. The solid trees sprouted branches, blocking his punch after punch.

Memories from the limbs and bones gathered in his mind, and he vaguely felt something.

The trees in front of me also have no roots.

"You are like this too..."

The huge giant laughed, but the fist wind became more and more fierce.

"No wonder."

The whistling fist winds collided again and again, and the two rootless trees with leafy branches attacked each other. There was no need for any reason to fight or any excuse to fight.

Just because this is their alien way of communication.

The branches and leaves touched each other, making a loud banging sound. Fists, elbows, legs, knees, all parts that could be used as weapons have been used by them. Carrying huge evil energy, they themselves are the sharpest weapons. They showed off their talents wantonly.

The falling leaves were blown into the air by the fist wind, floating freely.

This made Du Chengfeng slightly startled.

"you……"

"beat!"

After just a moment of confusion, 34 punches hit Du Chengfeng's body, and the huge force almost smashed his whole body into the ground!

But in Du Chengfeng's sight, the big tree that was wielding a heavy fist had begun to wither at some point.

The yellow leaves fell from the big trees and turned into flying ash all over the ground. Just like the majestic evil energy wrapped around the huge giant, it was also dissipating into the air and in all directions, or dissipated in the fist wind. Inside, or drifting in the wind, turning into passing clouds.

“Hit, ah, ah, ah, ah—”

The huge giant waved his increasingly shriveled arms, and the violent fists tore through the air, tearing apart his body itself, tearing apart the twisted blood and flesh, and even tearing apart the deformed bones and marrow. . "Don't you want it? Don't you want my blood? I won't give you anything! Every piece of flesh, every drop of blood, even the last bit of evil spirit, I won't give you anything! You can take nothing Not even there!”

"I know……"

This time, Du Chengfeng did not continue to punch.

He doesn't need to continue throwing punches, just because this is no longer a battle.

This can no longer be called a battle. The power of the fists has become weaker and weaker. Let alone break his bones, it can't even make him shake his body.

In front of Du Chengfeng, the towering tree was withering, drying up and falling apart.

The body that was once as strong and huge as a god of war is now thinner than a skeleton. The tough skin that was once difficult to be damaged by swords has been torn to pieces together with the flesh and blood, revealing pale bones. But even so, that huge body The giant, the emperor who single-handedly created the entire Dachen Empire, is still waving his fist.

"Okay, enough."

Du Chengfeng raised his hand and held down the palm that had lost all skin and flesh, and not even much bones were left.

"Enough is enough."

"Is... enough?"

The withered giant with only half its head left made a hoarse sound.

"Not enough, not enough..."

"There is no need to fight anymore."

Du Chengfeng sighed.

"Next, just leave it to me."

"No...it's not enough!"

The rotten remains raised their arms together.

"One more time, one more time..."

"I said, just leave it to me."

Du Chengfeng pressed the withered giant's arm again.

He did know why this huge giant did this. If he had thought that this huge giant was unwilling to hand over blood to him out of stinginess when they first fought against each other, then now he But he already understood the real reason for this.

Just because every bit and every inch of this huge giant's body is filled with distortion caused by evil spirits.

Including the blood itself.

It's not so much blood as it is liquid evil. This kind of thing can indeed bring strength, but it is also the source of madness - and Du Chengfeng naturally knows this, after all, he has experienced it personally now. Yes, the madness and resentment contained in the fierceness can indeed be called the source of power, but that resentment and hatred can also lead people to the road of self-destruction.

Just like the withered giant in front of him.

In order to prevent Du Chengfeng from taking over the overwhelming evil and resentment, the withered giant did not give Du Chengfeng a chance to kill him, but chose to destroy himself.

To die in a great battle and dissipate between heaven and earth may be the best destination for that huge giant.

But that's just maybe.

"You don't think that I can come back empty-handed after traveling all this way, do you?"

As he said this, Du Chengfeng had already pulled out the blazing sword from his back.

The five-foot-long flaming blade swept across, and the giant's remaining legs were burned to ashes. Then the flaming blade swept across again, and the giant's legs were shortened.

Under the sky full of smoke and dust, Du Chengfeng swept over with one knife after another, like a hard-working lumberjack, cutting down the big tree that reached the sky one after another.

The towering tree finally fell down, and the hard wood turned into firewood. The branches and leaves were burned, the trunk was torn into pieces, and the withered tree was eventually wiped out.

Only a stump was left on the ground.

That was a huge head that originally belonged to a giant.

"enough."

The giant with only its head left let out a hoarse whisper.

"That's enough, you don't need to go to this point..."

"It's not enough. I should still be able to eat it."

Du Chengfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This huge giant may be right. Just by detecting the huge amount of evil energy, he has already felt the huge pressure. You must know that it is not just thousands of people, but this huge giant in these few days. The viciousness and resentment of all the people he killed during his long life of a hundred years.

But it doesn't matter, he should be able to do it.

It should be possible...

"Do me a favor."

The withered head was shaking with the few remaining teeth.

"Find me some sweets, can you? Bring me some snacks, I want to try something sweet again."

"Did you know that you're actually not very good at lying?"

Du Chengfeng shook his head.

"How could I go to the city to find some snacks for you? If I hadn't turned around, you would have died."

"Then... let me say a few more words. After all, we haven't had much serious conversation since we met."

The withered head smiled bitterly, then opened its only remaining eye and looked into Du Chengfeng's eyes.

"Do you think there will be another world after death?"

"...I will."

Du Chengfeng finally looked away.

He always felt that this huge giant seemed to know something.

"...can you actually do it?"

The huge giant smiled.

"That's... great. You know, this world is very boring. It's really boring. Every day you kill me or I kill you. There's nothing else. It's like killing is the biggest thing in the world. …”

At this point, the withered head no longer looked at Du Chengfeng, but turned his gaze to the star-studded sky.

The moonlight shines on the half-remaining face, silent and long.

In the bright moonlight, he seemed to see the old bunker again, the prison he was so familiar with, the man with a sinister face, and the remaining Chu people. He handed the candy over and praised his bravery, smiling so happily.

Even he knows that this is just a reward for the tool, but this is the only impression he has of the word "home".

"Du Chengfeng?"

"Huh? You said."

"If, if there really was another world, would that world be good?"

"Um……"

Du Chengfeng was silent for a moment.

"That must be great."

"How good is it?"

"This……"

Du Chengfeng fell into thinking.

"It's going to be good anyway. There will be a lot of interesting things and a lot of fun. In that world, you can survive without even fighting... It's going to be pretty good anyway, trust me."

"You're actually not that good at lying."

The withered head grinned.

"How can there be a place where you can live without fighting? At most, the way of fighting is different... That world is actually not interesting, right?"

"how is this possible."

Du Chengfeng immediately turned his head and prepared to start debating scriptures.

But just when he was about to say something, the mutilated head that was still beside him disappeared at some point.

There was only a sound left, scattered in the wind together with the flying debris.

"Let's go, take care."

"you!"

Du Chengfeng suddenly turned his head and looked around.

He hasn't finished what he wants to say, he hasn't carried the huge evil spirit, he hasn't ended the giant's life with his own hands, he hasn't had time to bear this heavy life, and he hasn't had time to get some sweetness. snacks.

He didn't even have time to know this person's name.
